Hi Nick,
Thanks for the additional info. I haven't used nevr dull on a
textured slope, just the smooth transparent pieces and a smooth
black piece from the police headquarters. I just tried it on a

(...) I agree with you about the stickers-vs-printing thing, but stickers for the quarter-hulls would have been terrible. Kids would have been very frustrated, because there'd have to be a number of individual stickers for each part. Not that I like (...) (25 years ago, 29-Dec-99, to lugnet.general)
